Today we’re going to talk about the #1 vitamin deficiency behind bladder issues: vitamin B1 deficiency.

A vitamin B1 deficiency could lead to problems, including:
• Leaky bladder
• Incomplete urination
• Frequent urination
• Getting up in the middle of the night to urinate

The common thread behind these bladder issues is actually a problem with the nervous system.

The main control with urine elimination stems from the brain, and this part of the brain is very sensitive to a vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency.

A thiamine deficiency in the brain can even starve off certain neurons, causing a lack of function. The part of the brain that controls the bladder can shrink, leading to a loss of control of the bladder.

This situation is common with age and in those with diabetes, prediabetes, or chronic insulin resistance.

Natural tips to get rid of bladder issues:
1. Take vitamin B1 (benfotiamine and natural B1)
2. Get on the Healthy Keto® diet and do intermittent fasting
3. Drink 2.5 liters of fluid a day (not past 6 pm or 7 pm)
4. Consume apple cider vinegar (1 to 2 TBSP in water)
5. Reduce caffeine consumption
6. Massage the bladder

    Thanks for the info Dr Berg 🌸 I don’t have this symptom right now, but for a while I used to wake up around 1 time in the night for that. This is gone since I started to use berberine supplement regularly.

    Dr. Berg. I have recently figured out that all my fatigue and slow recovery after a workout comes from lack of micronutrients – which were depleted by working out to failure. I just would like to ask if you could make a video about a casual gym goer or weightlifter or not really an athlete per say, but trains extremely hard. I have concluded that I always try to train to failure. And when I do i get sick after a few days. Now that I have decided to supplement with a natural multivitamin and B1. So far it has grealty helped with the recovery and not getting sick part. This is going to sound crazy and I believe movies tend to show how hard someone works out in the “Training Montage” Scenes. They neglect nutrition, and this leaves a lot of young people as myself to push hard but not increase the intake of nutrients. Not just food like protein and other macros, but actual nutrients which are mostly B vitamins especially if it involves the muscle.

    • Seattle Six on March 16, 2023 at 1:58 pm

      If anything I believe Dr Berg’s vlog has helped many people listen to what their body is saying and encouraging them to act.

  7. Hillary Banks on March 16, 2023 at 11:19 am

    I thought I was having bladder infection/irritation but it was from DIM supplementing. Also, eating raw pumpkin seeds daily has helped me with urgency. (About to celebrate 3 years keto in April!!☺) Thank you Dr B!!

    • AllHim Withme on March 16, 2023 at 11:26 am

      YES!!! I gave our dog pumpkin seed extract for her incontinence and it totally took care of her leaking. If we ran out there’d be tell-tale drips on the floor. No one can say a dog has psychosomatic responses so I’m thoroughly convinced it has to really work.

    • Ry on March 16, 2023 at 2:23 pm

      What’s DIM supplement?

  8. AllHim Withme on March 16, 2023 at 11:28 am

    I damaged my whole bladder system for the 8 months I was coughing hard and incessantly due to an undiagnosed histamine intolerance. Now I’m healing my gut and avoiding histamine containing or producing food, and this will help me undo the bladder damage, too. Thank you!

    • AllHim Withme on March 16, 2023 at 1:16 pm

      @Beede Bawng I learned from Dr. Berg that intermittent fasting could resolve immune issues (which were obvious; I was experiencing massive asthma and congestion all the time) so I started OMAD (having been low carb already). As soon as I only ate once a day I was able to correlate my symptoms with ingesting food. ANY food. So then I read up on what caused food intolerance and learned all about histamine intolerance and MCAS which I clearly (at that point) have. And, as Basil Maz says, the symptoms are varied, but I was getting to the point where I was nearly anaphylactic after ingesting ANYTHING so I got the granddaddy of all possible symptoms, lucky me.

    • AllHim Withme on March 16, 2023 at 1:16 pm

      @Basil Maz And yay for me I had the “rare” near-anaphylaxis response.

    • AllHim Withme on March 16, 2023 at 1:17 pm

      @Melanie Starkey Green tea? That’s a no-no for histamine intolerance…as is basically everything else. I fast a LOT…I wish I never had to eat or drink again.

    • Free Spirit on March 16, 2023 at 1:25 pm

      @Melanie Starkey Most everything you want to eat, unfortunately. Healthy foods. Just look it up!

    • Missy Asche on March 16, 2023 at 3:10 pm

      ​@Beede Bawng typically, it’s figured out through diet. Limit histamine foods, histamine liberating foods, etc… There’s a lot to know, so research histamine diets, Dao supplements.

  9. Fredrik Wallinder on March 16, 2023 at 11:30 am

    Eric is now one of my main sources of health info on the internet, very good job.

    • Magdalena Aguilar on March 16, 2023 at 6:11 pm

      I’ve learned so much from you thank you my gallbladder does not hurt like before😊thank you thank you

    • Frank Cano on March 16, 2023 at 6:13 pm

      I’ve cured a lot of problems with my health by watching Dr. Berg. A key problem I noticed is our food lacks vitamins so we have to go out and take vitamin supplements. If our food had actual vitamins I feel like we would be fine.

    • ling ling on March 16, 2023 at 6:29 pm

      I love that you call him Eric. ❤️

      @Dr. Eric Berg DC question please (it’s kinda embarrassing but I’m desperate for information) could you please do a video on hormones and perimenopause please❓(it’s a living NIGHTMARE 😱) also since being in perimenopause I’ve noticed a difference in my bladder 👈🏻😱⚠️ SERIOUSLY what is happening to my body it’s like I’m falling apart like I’m 80 years old 😱

    • CYndibabI on March 16, 2023 at 2:52 pm

  11. Yankee 🌹 Rose on March 16, 2023 at 11:38 am

    Sending this to my sister, who suffers from all of these symptoms Dr. Berg. Thank you for expertise and advice! ❤

    • Dr. Eric Berg DC on March 16, 2023 at 12:41 pm

      Thanks for sharing. Hope the information here will help her.

  12. tick tack on March 16, 2023 at 11:41 am

    Interesting. I have been having urgency since a late teenager and it has been getting worse and worse as a young adult. I searched for information many times and found out it was possibly a nerve issue, but it was said to not be fixable. It would really surprise me if this worked.

    • whatta 1 on March 16, 2023 at 12:16 pm

      Try and stay away from natural flavors and dye’s or added chemicals in your food. That might help, too.

    • Seattle Six on March 16, 2023 at 2:03 pm

      Another factor to consider would be if any other members of the family have similar issues. If not, then definitely worth evaluating such a therapy

    • tick tack on March 16, 2023 at 6:38 pm

      Thank you for your answers. Although we don’t have the same symptoms, I suspect many of us are pre diabetic. My grandma even developed diabetic neuropathy. I might be getting the same, so I should definitely be cutting carbs and processed foods.

  13. Helen Keto on March 16, 2023 at 12:17 pm

    I realized how increased stress can create the need to pee, even if on keto and intermittent fasting. So that’s a sign I need to increase b1. That’s a point I need to remember. ❤

  14. Dee Fz on March 16, 2023 at 12:26 pm

    Thanks so much for this information, Dr Berg. So grateful for your channel and informative, sane posts! You’re massively reassuring.

  15. Dan White on March 16, 2023 at 12:53 pm

    I’m fortunate. Been a T-1 diabetic since age 19. I’m now 71. No diabetic neuropathy. No bladder issues. I walk 2 miles four to five times weekly. Lost a lot of weight. And eat healthy. Plus, I have a great endocrinologist.

    Your videos are very helpful. Thanks.

    • Nan's Global Kitchen on March 16, 2023 at 5:25 pm

      Wow! You are very lucky Can you please share if your endocrinologist is located in Orlando area? I would like to find a good one for my husband!

    • Oceanaway007 on March 16, 2023 at 6:36 pm

      im a type 1 too i pee all the time tho even in range

    • Vanita Gomes on March 16, 2023 at 7:20 pm

      What is T1 diabetic

  16. Frits van Zanten on March 16, 2023 at 12:53 pm

    Two remarks: 1) I think it would be useful for viewers when they consider a vitamine deficiency that in my view the symptoms have to show (or not) some consistency. In my view, again, a deficiency can not be the cause when your symptoms differ hugely from day to day or from week tot week, for you can’t be deficient one day and no longer the next one. Or can you? So some guideline may be useful. 2) I don’t know what the average amount of pee is normally, but 2,5 L is a lot (in a moderate climate)(added to fluids in vegetables, fruit etc) and with an average of 300 cc you’ll easily have to go to the bathroom 10 times a day, even more when you have these typical complaints. Besides, you may drain your body from minerals with these amounts.

    • Dr. Eric Berg DC on March 16, 2023 at 3:54 pm

      The problem is that a vitamin deficiency various among people so much, so you have to look at each nutrient and compare this to what you eat. What I am trying to is make you aware of certain connections, so its in your radar so you can increase as necessary. If you drink 2.5 liters of water day – you won’t have much dilution – only if you’re getting into a gallon.

  17. Rania Abdel-Halim on March 16, 2023 at 2:42 pm

    I can’t thank you enough Dr.Berg for all your efforts and valuable information 🙏🏻

    • Dr. Eric Berg DC on March 16, 2023 at 3:50 pm

      You’re very welcome! Glad to help!

  18. Katarzyna McKeown on March 16, 2023 at 2:51 pm

    I’ve had a frequent peeing problem since i can remember, since being a child. Around 30 i decided to do something about it, saw urologist, had some tests done and started taking meds for overactive bladder. Been taking it for years. I recently started IF 16/8, eating more meat and I decreased amount of carbs (im eating 1 gluten meal a day pre celiac tests right now, but after tests im going low carb as it makes me very bloated). I didn’t take my bladder meds for 2 days – i was out one day and i forgot another day and i noticed that i did not pee any more frequently without it (2-3 months earlier, when i didn’t take the pill, i had to go to the toilet every 5 min) 🤔 so i decided to try to completely stop taking it. And my bladder is just fine 😮 I don’t need meds anymore 😳 Still can’t believe it

    • E H on March 16, 2023 at 6:15 pm

      So did removing gluten and carbs help the overactive bladder? Good luck.

  19. Ave Maria gratia plena!! on March 16, 2023 at 2:53 pm

    De. Berg, you are an Angel!!! How many health issues we have in our family and thanks to your programs and your dedication we are all getting and feeling better. I’m going through menopause and I have the worst scenery, including frequent urination but im reducing the carbs and taking the vitamins D and B1,etc, following always your advises and I’m feeling much better now..Thank you!! It’s amazing what you are doing for all of us in this difficult times we are living. Thank you so much may God protect you and bless you and your family!!!

  20. Vivian on March 16, 2023 at 2:53 pm

    Hi Dr Berg. I’m a 16 year old female. Last summer I became anorexic. Tofu and spinach were the only foods I didn’t fear to eat, and so I ate a lot of soy for about a month. I lost a lot of weight, the condition of my skin was terrible and I experienced a lot of stress. In autumn my mental health went back to normal. I got really concerned about my period loss. I even started eating meat again after years of vegetarianism. I’ve been feeling very good lately, I even grew a little bit taller, and look a lot healthier, but unfortunately there’s still no sign of my period 😞. I’ve gotten it once in January, but then it just disappeared again. I don’t stress a lot nowadays, but sometimes I start panicking due to my period not coming back. What should I do?

    • Larry C on March 16, 2023 at 3:22 pm

      What’s your BMI? What is your exact diet and daily calories today?

    • Vivian on March 16, 2023 at 3:37 pm

      @Larry C My BMI had always been quite low, even when everything was okay and I had my period regularly. The most I weighted in my life was around 43kg (I’m 164/5’4)

    • Dr. Eric Berg DC on March 16, 2023 at 3:51 pm

      Yes, good question because your periods are a reflection of your fertility. I would re-evaluate your foods and make sure what I recommend in my books and videos – making sure the foods are nutrients, like seafood, shellfish for example. You need the trace minerals – high quality eggs are also essential and you may also need more vitamin D3 – like 10,000 IUs.

    • Vivian on March 16, 2023 at 3:57 pm

      @G P Yes, I got my blood tests done and went to a gynecologist, but the doctors told me that everything is alright

    • Vivian on March 16, 2023 at 4:00 pm

      @Dr. Eric Berg DC Thank You doctor
